Sundial Authenticator (no cost)

Sundial's Authenticator is a high-security time-based code generator for your mobile device (or alternative device). The codes can either be random numbers and letters or memorable codephrases which are easily communicated and checked over the internet, phone, or paper. Since the codephrases are memorable and grammatically correct, it's very simple to use the codephrases to communicate with a friend or family member in the real world. Sundial Authenticator is a free implementation of the "Shared-key Derived Temporal Code" protocol. SDTC is a new cryptosystem which supersedes and expands upon TOTP, which is the industry standard of yesterday.

Why a "Studio" ?

Sundial can help bring your ideas into reality. Possibly for no charge. There are only a few requirements:
  1. Your idea should have some sort of humanitarian or compassionate quality. We find that many good ideas already have this quality, so even if you aren't sure, let us know.
  2. You must own the rights to your idea and be willing to license the rights to us, so we can do our part.
  3. You must be open to recieve royalties over time, instead of an up-front purchase by us.
